Pop trio says new brew will be high quality

Hanson are prepping the launch of MMMHop, their own brand of beer. The squeaky-clean pop trio hope to make the brew, an India Pale Ale, available to fans sometime in early 2012.

"We
of course make records, they are fundamental to what we do, but we
wanted to create a brand so that our fans have a greater experience,"
Zac Hanson told reporters at Oxford University Union in Oxford, England
on Monday, justifying the new project. "What is vital is that Hanson
merchandise is quality and not made solely with the purpose of profit."

"We have a board game and even a record player to play our last
record on, but we will never make dolls, lunch boxes or toothbrushes
that play our songs, for example. It's vital our fans have trust in
everything Hanson do," says Hanson. "In fact, we are soon going to be selling our own beer, I'm not even joking. MMMHop IPA, anyone?"
